Mauricio Pochettino believes VAR has made it harder to coach players to be nasty. Chelsea’s manager, who ripped into his squad after last weekend’s 4-1 defeat at Newcastle, said the introduction of technology meant there was no point in practising dark arts in training.
Pochettino, known for getting stuck in during his playing days, was asked whether Chelsea’s dressing room contained too many placid figures. The former Argentina player had been asked whether he could trust his young squad to police itself after disappointing performances.
